case against Sttudacher, chargedswith at
tempting to kill young LADY named
kesIney recently, wss dismissed to-day
under very peculiar circumstances. A jury
had been selected and agreed upon by both
sides and the trial commenced, when it
was discovered that one of the juryme1
was deaf. The prosecution made motion
that he be dismissed, whereupon Messrs.
Lamb and Harper, the attorneys for the
defendant, taking advantage OF the other
side, demanded that if the deaf
member be discharged that the prisoner
also be discharged. Judge Mack dismissed
the whole Jury and ordered q new trial,
which came up before Judge Snyder, of
Charlottesville, and was brought to close
to-day, the Judge instructing the jury to
find verdict of not guilty. He held that
the prisoner was placed in jeapordy once
before for the same offense, and could not
legally have been tried twice. The prose
cntien will bring the case to the Supreme
Court, and are confident of 8 reversal. This
is the only case of tie kind ever known in
Vigo county, and hes given rise 10 mnch
talk.

The halcyon days of the Repub-
Iican party in this country weret he
days of army politics. They were
the days when a lot of politicians
and toughs stole the livery of heav-
en- IN which to serve the devil
They wore the army blue, not be-
cause they wanted to fight or had
been fighting rebels, but because
they wanted to knock down and
drag out democrats. Then the re-
publican party was a high-cock-a-
Iorum church and state corporation,
and democrats were denounced as
heretics and traitors. A return of
these halcyon days is what the Tut
ties and Forakers and Fairchilds,
big and little, are all after. They
expect to use the Grand Army of
the Republic for this purpose. 1t is
the duty of the democratic veterans
who belong to that noble organiza-
ton to see that these fellows fail
Once the democratic soldiers put on
their caps and walk out these fell
lows will begin to feel little lone
some and little tired. They may
then conclude it is best to behave
themselves and give the country a
rest.

ssI never saw the Democracy of our

lieve that West Virginia will give

and more every day, and they love
him. He will be re-nominated.-
There will be no opposition in the
convention, and he will be victori-
ously reelected"

all ablaze with excitement over
what may yet prove a great oil
boom. 1t is said that the prospects
for oil are hattering, about twenty
eight miles from Weston, on Gla-

A company is now boring wells,
and if they should strike oil, the
enterprise will no doubt pay them
well, for at a distance of sixty-eight
feet they found a twelve foot vein
of a fine quality of camel coal, and
and, Immediately following it, a
stratum of excellent quality of fire.

A new law against pistols in Tex
as forbids any person to have a
weapon within reaching distance.
The friends of the measure say that
if the law is faithfully enforced Tex
as will be a new State within five
years. On the other hand, it would
seem that faithful enforcement of
the act is likely to land every other
Texan in jail inside of five weeks.

A very bold attempt was made to
rob the bank at Anderson, on the
G. & Q. Road, one night recently
1t was about eleven O'Clock, and
the west bound passenger train was
nearing the station, when a man
standing at the eoal-house door, in
the rear of the Valley Bank, fired
three pistol shots at Isaac 7. Mann,
the teller, who had stepped out of
the door onto a small platform.
The balls missed him and struck
the door, one going through it.
After firing, the wouId-be robber
and assassin rushed at Mr., Mann
and aimed a blow at him with the
pistol or knife, but Mr.. Mann
warded off the blow with his left
arm and struck the man insthe face
with his right fist, knocking him
over, when he sprang into the bank
for his own pistol. The man was
gone when he came out armed, and
could not be found. The man must
have struck at Mr.. M. with big
knife, for his coat, seersucker, has
in it a large, well-defned cut. The
man used a self-cocl1ing revolver,
and got in his work rapidly while
the moving train was making a
racket. Persons who heard the
shooting thought it was torpedoes
exploded ON the track by the cars.

The Pit Brow Lassies.

One of the most noticeable legisla
tive attempts to interfere with the nat
ural course Of industry is found in a
bill lately introduced into the British
Parliament providing that mo wom-
an or girl shall be employed in con-
nection with any mine for the pur-
pose of manual labor, below or above
ground"
The women of the British coal
mines are well known. They work
at the mouth of mine asserting coal,
and are called "pit browlassies. The
The heroine in that charming novel,
THAT Lass O Lowries, was one OF
them. Their work is the reverse of
dainty, and their appearance, when
engaged in it, more masculine than
feminine, since they wear coarse
sort of trousers, and are begrimed
with coal dust. These unattractive
facts appear to have moved the leg
islators in London to attempt torem-
edy them by wiping out the womens
occupation.
The result has been to bring a dep
utation Of twenty four Lancashire pit
women to London to protest against
this plan of legislating them out of
industrial existence. Four miners
came with them to support their pray
er, and Mrs. Parkes. the wife OF the
Mayor of Wigan, where the women
work, came to add her testimony for
the same purpose. The pit brow lass
les appeared in the usual femme gar
ments, and differed very little in ap-
pearance from ordinary working girls
except that they were more sturdy
and stalwart. Mrs. Parkes said that
the women of the pit brow worked
but eight hours and a half day; that
their labor was more healthy than
cotton'mill work, and that they were
''as good and as pure as any of their
sisters
The appearance of the women. and
he feryency with which they pleaded
'or the right to work as they thought

officers of the Government an assur-
lnce that the bill should not be car.
